For all of you that read the threads, mangus2000 was well nigh stopped in our previous battle. As I am a teacher at heart, and a gentleman, I proposed a grudge match to give him fair chance to settle this.
As his biggest weakness in the previous game was use of armor and mobility, I've set up a 1500 point assault of him (Germans) versus Me (British) in December '42.
To make this as challenging as possible for all parties, I have purchased NO, and I say again NO, mobility. That's right, no tanks, no sp guns, no jeeps, and no halftracks.
This battle I have christened Rommel 201 "The Gun Line", since the first one ended up being Rommel 101 "The Blitz". For me, I get a chance to try out the gun line as a defensive option against overwhelming force, and Mangus gets to try it out as the attacker that must break through.
My purchases are as follows:
4 6 pounder AT guns
2 25 pounder Howitzers (AT guns from Hell)
4 20mm AA guns
Several platoons of engineers
Barbed Wire
Trenches
AP mines
4 Vickers MGs
6 Bren LMGs
I plan to follow a straight up gun line defense, using heavily overlapping fields of fire on my AT guns and howitzers against his tanks, and my 20mm AA guns as direct fire tools against his infantry and halftracks.
